Give the major organic products from the oxidation with KMnO4 for the following compounds. Assume an excess of KMnO4. a) ethylbenzene
b) m-Xylene (1,3- dimethylbenzene)
c) 4-Propyl-3-t-butyltoluene

Explanation:

a ) Benzoic acid is formed . In any alkyl benzene derivative , potassium permanganate reacts to form carboxylic acid . It oxidises side chains to carboxylic acid .  

C₆H₅CH₃ + 0 = C₆H₅COOH + H₂O

O is provided by KMnO₄

b ) In this reaction isophthalic acid is formed .

C₆H₄(CH₃)₂ +O = C₆H₄(COOH)₂

c)

4-Propyl-3-t-butyltoluene

In this oxidation , three side chains of ring  are 1 ) 1-methyl 2 ) 3- butyl 3 ) 4 propyl .

The methyl and 4 - propyl groups are oxidised to di- carboxylic acid and 3 butyl group remains intact ( unoxidised )

wanahton purified a portion of water with 900 grams of contaminants. each hour, a third of the contaminants was filtered out.

let g(n) be the amount of contaminants (in grams) that remained by the beginning of the nth hour. g is a sequence, what kind of sequence is it, arithmetic or geometric? then, write an explicit formula for the sequence, g(n)=
